Some, in particular department stores, are open on Sundays and may instead close on a weekday (a different day for each store in a town). Banks generally shut at noon on Saturday. Museums often close slightly earlier during the winter months and are closed all together over the New Year holiday. They are usually also shut one day a week; if a national holiday falls on the museum's weekly closing day, it closes on the following day instead.
